Sign Showing Obama In Diaper Sparks Controversy

NEW ORLEANS -- An Uptown neighborhood was clogged with cars Wednesday morning as 60 people showed up outside a home on Calhoun Street, demanding the removal of a sign of President Barack Obama in a diaper mounted on a fence.

The people gathered outside the home just off St. Charles Avenue said they came to express their frustrations over the "offensive" poster.

In the crowd was former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and he said he already talked to homeowner Timmy Riley -- but the sign hasn't been removed.

Many residents said the poster is distasteful and disrespectful to the president and to African-Americans.

However, views over the sign were split among neighbors in the Uptown community.

"We see it every day. It's a monstrosity, and I can't believe somebody would put it up. But (Riley has) the right to do that, unfortunately," neighbor Veronica Lyons said.

Police said that Riley has the right to express himself even if the sign is offensive to some people.

"It's sign on his own property. It's a free world, and I don't understand why (Riley) can't do that," neighbor Katherina DeMonluzine said.

Everyone would think putting Obama in a diaper is the most dignifying thing he's ever done besides becoming the first african american president. I mean come on, wtf else has he actually done thats 100% beneficial. oh... Nothing. Clintons blow job got more shit done in the white house than that impostor.

Where can I purchase such pin up? I'd like one for my fence, well I don't have a fence, so I'd probably hang it in a tree. :alien51:
